that are currently living in the shadows, a pathway that includes passing a background check, paying taxes, penalty, learning english, and going to the back of the line behind everyone else trying to come here legally. real reform requires modernizing the legal immigration system so our citizens don't have to wait years before their loved ones are able to join them in america, and so that we are attracting the highly scheduled entrepreneurs and engineers to help create good paying jobs and grow our economy. so let's get this done. and let's do it in a way that keeps pace with our history and values. no other country welcomes as many new arrivals as us. and as long as the promise of america endures, as long as we continue to stand tall as a beacon of hope and opportunity, then the world's hardest workers, the hungriest entrepreneurs, the men and women that are willing to make enormous sacrifices to get a better life not just for themselves but for their children and their grandchildren, they're going to keep on coming, and like the millions who came before and like the 28 americans who are

it stands for taxed enough already. we understand we want to draw a line in sand and not tax anything else. at some point you have to be for something and some point have to get people on your side to your mission and vision and move legislation. you can't just be sitting up there pounding your fist, saying no and pointing to constitution. while i love and respect the constitution, you have to use the that to bring people on to your side, not turn people off. that's an issue. as far as rand paul's concerned, look, libertarian as though he may be, he's got some issues and stances that could bring some people on to the conservative libertarianism. i don't know what that is, either, by the way, goldie. he could bring people to that side. goldie also pointed out there are big issues he has about civil rights and things like that that are nonstarters that no one brought up in the last few weeks since his filibuster. >> so, angela, republicans have talked a lot about how they can do better among women voters. senator ted cruz
